I tried going off of it almost a year ago, because I've been on it since I was 13, and I was curious if my symptoms would be any better now that I'm older... well they weren't, they were horrible! I heard it's possible to get birth control for free, but I don't know where I could get it from. I'm in college, and I don't know if the health center would give them out, because they sell it. Any ideas?

Do try and talk with the health center at school. My now DIL had no insurance, also had awful periods and got pills from them. I don't know if she had to pay for them or not. Or maybe a reduced amount? I wonder if there are health centers in the community that help. Our area gives free shots to people, especially children for school. They do it on a certain schedule. Perhaps you can talk to someone there?
